Well, I'm happy to report I think I solved the oopses, thanks to
Phillip Reisner's clue.
Now just still lost with the SLOW SLOW initial synchronisation between devices.
My solution against the OOPS was:
1) configure the kernels (exact same version) without SMP
2) compile each kernel on its own system
3) THEN, compile drbd modules again for that kernel
I take this was a mismatch between kernel and system, or between kernel
and the drbd module, or possibly, my setup didn't like SMP kernels as much.
But with regards to the SLOW initializing/synching problem, see below,
I still have
no clue or fix. A benchmark was attached previously, dma is on and
all, I'm happy
for any clues on known drbd issues or (non-lethal!) hdparm commands...
